Great game short and sweet. Sad to say you didn't scare me in 10 minutes! It's still good and, looking forward to your other projects. Also that doggo monster! ;)
Hello I am from India and I tried this game and want to say that this game is really good and can be improved like more jumpscares btw if this game gets full release I am definitely going to play this game
India is a long way from where we live, so we are glad to hear from you. We went for a more atmospheric horror, so that is why there are not so many jump scares. The plan is to put out a full version of the game next year, if all goes well. Thanks for all your feedback.
Really Fantastic Game Guys Check out my full review here!! Subscribe if you like what I do!! All the help is really appreciated thanks. I recommend everyone to check this game out!!
Glad you had a good time with the game. I briefly described what a dramaturg is on your youtube video. So if others want the answer, they have to go to your video. ;)
loved the game and i honestly didn't think i would get scared but you got me lol! i curios because you talk about big projects! wondering if i could get information on what those are?
This is a nice neat game, shame it wasn't longer though. I don't know what kind of experiment you are doing with this game but I filled out the survey after completing the game. The game itself wasn't too bad, not as scary as I thought it would be but I do have a question... Why do I not have any arms? I also played the game after the end credits and for those who have not, I recommend you do. I did try searching for more secrets in the game but couldn't find any more. I made a video so I hope you enjoy and I go more in depth
The game reminded me of Neverending Nightmares combined a little with Fran Bow, both games I very much enjoyed! This game, even though it was just a piece of experience, delivered amazing atmosphere and dread for me. I am glad I played and recorded it!
This is so awesome. Instantly this gave me nostalgic feelings back to Neverending Nightmares.
Good enviroment, awesome sound quality and fun gameplay. I like the hospital enviroment and wish the game could be a bit longer. Having that thing out there is freaky.
Hoping you getting the time and resources to make ER into a "real game" in the future. Reading that it almost feels like this is a demo of some sort. So much potentials for a good story and fun gameplay.
Thanks for ER and I'm looking forward what other projects you are working on.
I'll admit I didn't think it was going to be that great judging by the cover of the game but, boy was I wrong this is a short and, sweet horror gem that got my heart racing a bit.
Glad we could get your heart going. Cover images are not what we are best at yet. We are starting to experiment a little with it now. Have you seen the new one? What do you think about it?
Yes I saw the new cover art and, I have to say it looks a ton better than what was there before. I think the new cover art stands out and, will attract many more let's players and, gamers to your game! Hope your team continues to keep up the great work!
This was a good little game. I enjoyed it, it was pretty short, but rather creepy. I enjoy body horror games and this one delivered. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to the future games.
Thanks for the nice words. They are very nice to get.
We are in the process of testing for a possible successor to The ER, which will be a "real" game. So longer with more story, more creepy things and more surprises.
Featured this game in my 3 random games, It's got it's quirks. It's a short experience and does actually get me near the end. Recommend it if you like short unique games.
Your character remind us of our first boss in our game The Night Christmas Ended. If you read this before someone else, here is a steamkey for The Night Christmas Ended, so you can see the first boss yourself:
Thank you. You will maybe see more. We just have two other game projects on the plate at the moment that we expect to announced at the beginning of the spring.
If you haven't played this yourself do yourself a favor and DOWNLOAD IT NOW. You won't regret it, this is a wonderful free short horror game.
Nordic Journey Maker, you promised to scare in 10 minutes or less and MAN did you deliver! This game was terrifying! The ambiance and music were on point for creating that sense of dread, and I was happy that you didn't overuse jumpscares to try and freak out the player. You went the better, more difficult route of creating an atmosphere of horror, which is far more scary anyway. I loved it! I was left with a ton of questions about the protagonist and the story, so I really hope y'all turn this into a full fledged game!
P.S. Took the survey, too. Hope it helps with future developments. :)
Thanks for all your feedback! We appreciate it. We are talking about making it into a full game, but we are actually in the middle of two other game projects at the moment that we expect to announced at the beginning of the spring. So we just have to see how things goes, but we have the idea.
Oooh how fun! 2 other projects huh? Are both of those around horror tropes as well, or are they playing with other elements of the human psyche? I'll definitely be looking forward to when those games come out this spring. 🙂
The ER was a great game, The art style and sound choice really set the atmosphere. The art style was easily recognizable and set it apart for everything else. I love the hand-drawn look, The quietness of this place really sets the unease. Personally, I think the characters arms are missing for a reason. Imagine if you will being in a completely strange place only to wander around lost. You couldn't open any doors with handles making the area you wander limited. Almost as if something is toying with you forcing you into a play area. Not having arms is truly terrifying, that may be a long shot but that has to be the scariest thing I found during my play-through.
This was a fun and creepy game! I loved the atmosphere and the mystery of the game. Who are we? What is going on? Why do we have no arms?! These questions keep the imagination on point while we try to navigate the nightmare fueled hospital. Great job developers!

Ok you got me guys ... i got scared :/ But not because of a monster or anything like that, oh no no no! It was the damn door when it opened lol
Great short game you've made i have to say and i'm excited to see how will your secret project turn out!
Thanks for being the one that got scared by the door.
And just because we are a little crazy, we have three secret game projects we are developing. ;)
It was a nice door sound effect tho :)
Three projects? Looking forward to see them! And good luck!

We are looking at, how to structure a linear game so there is a good narrative flow. Thanks for all your feedback!
I played it. It was very creepy.
The game reminded me of Neverending Nightmares combined a little with Fran Bow, both games I very much enjoyed! This game, even though it was just a piece of experience, delivered amazing atmosphere and dread for me. I am glad I played and recorded it!
We are glad you recorded it and shared. :)
The first game here I played through. Very nice atmosphere.

We have never played Neverending Nightmares, but we have seen it before. It have some great artwork
We have been doing some small tests for the "real" game. For example, we have worked on how we can use the camera to create a more creepy atmosphere.
Thanks for all your feedback. It helps to watch and hear you play the game.
Glad we could get your heart going. Cover images are not what we are best at yet. We are starting to experiment a little with it now. Have you seen the new one? What do you think about it?

We are glad you enjoyed it. And we have updated the game, so now you can crawl in and become a beautiful butterfly.
Haha. That's Amazing!
Thanks, ReapeeRon.
Really enjoyed the game! Hope the survey helps!
Yes, it helps, just as your video helps us. So thank you for sharing it with us!
So neat and spooky! Loved it :)
We expect to watch your video this weekend. My best friend is a huge SALAD FINGERS fan, so am excited to watch your video with such a title. ;)
Thanks, man! Apologies in advance for all the Swedish cursing :P
Vi er fra Danmark. So there is a chance we will understand your Swedish cursing. ;)
Sedär! Säg till om ni behöver fler let's plays av era spel ;)
Great short and intense experience. I would have loved more if it had some other scenes as well to increase the tension. Thanks :)
Thanks for the nice words. They are very nice to get.

Everybody's talking about how we have no arms, but i ESPECIALLY like the way we walk. Don't know whether to call it sliding or strafing lol
But all in all I liked it, good game :D
Thanks for sharing your video. It is a sinister cover picture you have on your video.
I don't normally play games that are set up like this one, BUT I enjoyed this!
We are glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for sharing your video. Always good to get some video feedback.
And we were also a little surprised that we were suddenly number 1 on itchio, but we enjoyed it as long as it lasted.
Man, I loved that monster design. 10 outta 10.
yours was the first game I played
Damn you can speak fast! You made us smile a few times, thank you for that, and thank you for sharing your video with us.
It was the caffeine in my system I assure you XD. And thanks for making the game. I hope I can play your future projects soon too :)
Great short experiance. Loved the atmosphere and the build up. Great work I hope to see more in the future.
Thank you. You will maybe see more. We just have two other game projects on the plate at the moment that we expect to announced at the beginning of the spring.

Thank you for your thoughts on having no arms. :)
I figured I would lend a hand.
What a creepy monster and game! Loved the atmosphere and the sounds.
Haha! Hey, I recognize that face in t he thumbnail! Great video, I highly recommend this guy to anyone browsing through!
Thanks for sharing your video!
I like the art style, but why am I missing two arms?
Du må venter på efterfølgeren for at få svaret på det. ;)
Really nice game. The buildup was great and the art was nice.
Thanks for the feedback!
